Customer wants 2D data only - How?

Customer wants 2D data only - How?

Customer wants 2D data only - How?

(OP)
Hello,

I need to submit a 2D drawing only to one of our customers. They do not want the 3D data. How can I remove the associativity to the 3D data in order to meet their needs?

Thanks

RE: Customer wants 2D data only - How?

EDIT, LINKS, ISOLATE.

Thanks for the help, Jim. The only problem is that the ISOLATE  button is grayed out. When I go to EDIT-LINKS, the only button available is REPLACE. Can you offer any more suggestions?

RE: Customer wants 2D data only - How?

You must select a view (or views), and then ISOLATE will work. I usually select them via the spec tree.

Depending on what your customers wants, You don't really have to remove the associativity...:

If they are sent the CATDrawing without the CATProducts & CATParts, they will have the drawing, and all the views will show broken link.

If they just want to work off of 2D drawing, save it as a PDF file and send them that. If they would like to have geometry to work to, save it as a DXF or 2d IGES.

This way your links and update ability are still present, and the customer gets what they want in a smaller sized file.
